Nordic Games removes GFWL requirement from Red Faction: Guerrilla

MCV Staff 4th November 2014 Business News

New Red Faction IP owner Nordic Games has announced the removal of Games for Windows Live from Red Faction: Guerrilla on PC.

A post by executive producer Reinhard Pollice on the game’s Steam Community boards reveals a public beta is now running to test for stability errors and bugs – as the latest update adds a host of new features as well.

The game now carries full Steam support, Steamworks multiplayer and matchmaking, leaderboards, chat and achievements.

The DirectX 10 requirement has been lowered as well, with the new updated defaulting to the DX9 Renderer.

DX10 created a lot of problems and resulted in performance drawbacks,” Pollice said.

Earlier this week, Nordic purchased rights to de Blob – the latest in the firm’s acquisitions of assets from defunct publisher THQ.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
